EAST WALNUT HILLS Neighborhood Revitalization Neighborhood Development Cincinnati, OH
The vision for this development is to provide the missing link between Walnut Hills and East Walnut Hills business districts. Given the location of the site being at the literal “knuckle” between the two NBD’s, the location was poised as a center of activity, ultimately connecting the commerical corridor along Woodburn Avenue to the corridor along E Mcmillan Street. Looking beyond just simply connecting the two neighborhoods involves expanding the boundaries and ultimately creating a connection between Uptown and Evanston, which contain two major institutions and employment centers within the Cincinnati region, The University of Cincinnati and Xavier University. The culmination of the connection between these major areas of economic activity all lands at this “knuckle”. This site will serve as a location for people traveling between these neighborhoods to live and play. The development provides a mix of housing types as well as a continuation of commercial activity along Woodburn Ave. and E Mcmillan St. The development will also create a pedestrian and bicycle connection to Eden Park.
